Crazy Old Soldier

I was doing some traveling today. Thinking of the old man, drinkin, and some of the crazy shit I shouldnt have done. What a fitting song to pop up on the MP3 Player. I miss you Old Man. Here's to You, Me, & all the other Crazy Old Soldiers out there. May our troubled soul's find some peace.


Crazy Old Soldier by Johnny Cash

I’ve had fame and fortune
Women come knock on my door
I’ve live to the limit maybe a little bit more
There are so many stories of how I got out of control
Some say it’s a woman
Some say it’s my troubled soul
I’m like a crazy old solider
fightin’ a war on my own
Just me and the whiskey
And the bottles are ten thousand strong
You’d think I’d give up
as many times as I’ve been hit
But like a crazy old soldier
I just don’t know when to quit

Barrooms and bedrooms
Are just faces and places and names
Once for the pleasure
And Lord knows once for the pain
I’ve tried to forget her
And all of the things that we’ve done
But as long as there are memories
I’ll never hang up my gun

I’m like a crazy old solider
Fightin’ a war on my own
Just me and the whiskey
And the bottles are ten thousand strong
You’d think I’d give up
As many times as I’ve been hit
But like crazy old solider
I just don’t know when to quit
Like a crazy old solider
I just don’t know when to quit
